Braham, Jeanne
2007
Examines the lives of twentieth-century American poets, focusing on Donald Hall, Richard Wilbur, Maxine Kumin, and Stanley Kunitz; and profiles their lives and achievements.
A biography of twentieth century American author William Styron, covering his childhood in the South, his travels abroad, his twenty-five-year feud with Norman Mailer, and his most recent publications, including "Darkness Visible.".
The author tells the story of her childhood in Hungary, through her coming-of-age as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps, and her marriage to an American officer.
The author, a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division during World War II, recalls the eleven-day battle of Bastogne during which the Screaming Eagles, in freezing weather and without adequate supplies or ammunition, held off the Nazi onslaught against the small Belgian crossroads town long enough for Patton's Third Army to redeploy from the south.
